The Rude Pundit: How My Friends Piss Me Off About the Election

It's all about competence and sanity.

This election isn't about morality, idealism, or hatred. It's about keeping Trump out of the White House and electing a sane, competent, and proven leader in Hillary Clinton; and guess what? In four years, if you don't like what she's done, you can vote for someone else. Hell, the Republicans (what's left of them) could nominate someone with a brain. Or maybe your beloved third party candidate will gain more support by then. Isn't democracy great that way? Can we try to keep it?

In four years time it is highly likely that, once again, the only alternative to Hillary will not be much better than Trump.

The next time you will have an election with more than one non-awful serious option on the table will probably be in eight years time, and it will be a primary, not a general.
